I was looking forward to Microsoft and Sonys motion tech and they both blow Nintendo away but to me Sony has the upperhand because they really have it set on almost perfect.

Yeah, again I think sony is going for a more hardcore audience. Natal and the wii in general really exude casual-ness. The sony motion thing doesn't seem as geared toward casuals

you know, i'd like to see some games that will support it before jumping to any conclusions. it looked like they threw that demo together after seeing MS's motion camera, you know, in a span of 24 hours.

Their demo seemed too staged and planned for it to be just a 24 thing imo. At worst I think they already had it in mind but decided not to show it at E3 but changed their minds when they saw that MS was doing it, too.

I think it won't play a big part in the PS3. I'm not excited for it.

Microsofts was most impressive by far. The PS3's was a little more functional, but neither are standard hardware and neither will be taken advatage of by developers or gamers.. The Wii mote is standard hardware and most Wii games don't even take advantage of it

I agree... how can you guys buy into Natal? Seriously... if you stop thinking with your eyes and look at it objectively... Natal doesn't look very appealing from a gaming standpoint. I can see it doing Wii-like "fun" games... but other than that... its "not" even relatively practical. It definitely looked staged to be seemingly intuitive.

While I just don't like motion control in general, Sony's contraption at least was demonstrated with gameplay.

Well, he even said it was an early prototype and the look will probably change. I thought it looked way more precise than the motion plus. And, the graphical capabilities of the PS3 are way above what the Wii can do. I think they can actually do some cool stuff with it in-game.

I find it funny that since PS3 and 360 barely had any new games announced (we knew most of the games before E3), that now Lems and Cows are talking about motion controls while Wii owners are talking about games.... oh yah Zelda just got confirmed... you hear that? Zelda.

if Sony ditches the aesthetics, focuses on functionality and add all the needed buttons and analog, they could have the best controller ever. Yes, i want that thing to replace the DS3.

I can say I'm a sony fanboy, but I must admit in my position that the motion controller is just plain stupid. If sony is going to further develop this thing, nobody is going to stop them, but at least I'll stay away from it thank you very much.

WMP is very percise they just don't show it in techdemos... they show it in games... where your usually focusing on what's happening and not on how precise it is.

My crystal ball says that Sony is going to screw up the marketing for this game and sell the peripheral seperate from the actual games or not market it at all (Eye of Judgement?). Socom/Warhawk/ Bluetooth HS was a good step in the correct direction, but they offered no fun factor follow through.

Nintendo got peripherals write, Wii board with Wii Fit; Wiimote with Wii Sports; Wii adapter with Wii Resort. Sony and MS better learn.

Sony's motion controls are basically Wiimote + MotionPlus, there is hardly any difference between those. Microsoft's Natal is the most different of all.

What will determine which controls are the best are the games created for them.

Because third party publishers believe no one wants a console RTS on wii.

Ugh this Sony controller isn't going to be out for a long time, they don't even have a name for the damn thing yet. By the time it does come out WMP will have far greater market penetration and way more games. Both the wand and Natal are going to be sunk before they even launch.

Ps3 already has an EyEtoy, so did the ps2.

And the eyetoy did not track depth by measuring the time it takes reflected light to return to the camera, did not have built in voice recognition software for the developers to use, and did not have true face recognition.

You could say that Natal is a 3d eyetoy with amazing software built in, but that wouldn't exactly be "the same", would it?

Natal dev kits go out next week. Developers can have "tacked on" motion in their holiday releases. High-end motion games by the time Sony's Wand comes out.

Are you FN SERIOUS?!? Sony's motion sensing was the joke of the conference:lol: because he made the sword poke a dummy on the screen u call it accurate. AFTER he missed like 5 tennis balls with his big cartoon racket lol. The JOKE of the conference. They should have never showed that after MS presentation. People were laughing n notice no applause while leaving the stage. I'm stunned, stunned that cows and people are actually trying uplift this BLatant rip-off of a wiimote with a glowing white ball...that turns red when u throw a fireball mind you. STUNNED

i'll start by saying i'm not interested much in motion controlled based games.. however both offerings from Sony & MS were interesting.. however i did get a feeling that while MS planned well the presentation for Natal, Sony looked like it was a last minute decision...Sony could have prepared a better show as regards motion controls..

Even so how many developers are going to jump on the bandwagon when the peripheral is completely unproven. The first party *has* to lead the way yet microsoft doesn't have any games for it at all.

Good point.

I predict a fall release of Natal, with a "Natal Sports" game and an XBL update for Natal menu controls. And like I said, tacked on controls for a few big games. Especialy Halo ODST. Then more to come in the winter.

On a side note, I think these $200 rumors are false. I bet it is only about $10 or $20 dollars more than the original webcam.

Releasing so late into the console's lifespan is a little dangerous (same goes for Natal)

But there is a possibility that it will be compatible with the future next-gen consoles. I mean,I don't see MS and Sony forcing you to abandon your Gamertag, Trophies and Achievement points, as well as your digital purchases. Unlike past consoles where it was a brand new start every time, this next migration will let you bring over a lot of stuff. And I have a feeling Natal and Sony's motion thing will be among those.
